Guardian News & Media racks up nominations for AOP's 2012 Awards

Dennis and Future Publishing bagged themselves seven nominations each while CBS Interactive, Immediate Media and United Business Media received six nominations each.

Telegraph, which won digital ad sales team last year, is up for the award again and faces competition from Future, Glam Media, Guardian News & Media, Parenting (Immediate Media), Mail Online, Shortlist and Trinity Mirror.

Haymarket, whose Business Media division won business digital publisher last year, is up for five awards this year, including Launch 2012 for Four Four Two Performances, and best business website for Wind Power.

Hearst Magazines has also bagged five nominations.

AOP introduced two new categories this year: Social Media, to reflect the crucial role the medium is playing in increasing audiences and engagement, and Pureplay Digital Publisher to highlight the contribution of digital-only media owners.

Lee Baker, director of the AOP, said the judges had "a particularly arduous task" in selecting the nominees for this years awards.

"I believe that the calibre of this year’s shortlist is especially strong, reflecting the innovation and vision that has made the UK a world leader in digital media," he said.
 
The AOP will be announcing the award winners at an event at the Roundhouse in Camden on 19 July.
